Abscraft - about me and my blog

Alison Bailey SmithI have been making accessories from recycled from 20 years and have recently got into making a range called "Junk Jewellery" which uses all the plastic packaging that comes into my household.http://www.abscraft.com is the site I had created in 2004 which shows make work that I do with wire reclaimed from old televisions

About Abscraft

I have been creating jewellery & other wearable art from un-conventional materials including wire from old televisions for about 20 yrs.

My training gave me the freedom to make jewellery and objects in the widest context. The effect of the technique I have created, is reminiscent of rich brocade or filigree work.

A few years ago, I started making sculptures from re-cycled galvanised wire and also working on a new range of junk jewellery from plastics.

I have also been organising networking events for Wirral artists and community projects in 2009.

Most recently have joined with 6 other volunteers to create the Momentary Art Project in New Brighton which is set up as a community interest company to bring art to New Brighton and from New Brighton.
